With these motors producing SOO much torque i am geared for top end and cannot imagine it taking off any faster!
We run a 4,5, then 6s race on out track.. I havent noticed much difference with the different c ratings, when i first got in to it i bought 40c batts at a much higher price than the 25c i have and i really dont see much difference

I ran Nitro GT for 3 years and recently switched to Gte
I'm running a Tekin 1700 KV 5 Cell and I have set punch control up to 50 to avoid wheel spin. Im running LiFe batts which are lower voltage than 5 cell LiPos.. nonetheless the car runs strong.
Gearing I am running stock centre diff 48T with 20T pinion. Im going to pick up a 24T and 26T pinion soon. I will most likely turn the punch control down to 20s..
I myself don't see a need for 2 speed on these cars.

And how are you keeping the ipanemas on the rim with the 6s? I could never manage to do that lol.. And yea with the gt2s diff gearing on 6s would ANNIHILATE the Vorza with same gearing.

What are you using for the battery tray ?. Wonder if I can use the vorza battery holder. I usually lay into the throttle slowly lol.
Do you have pics of your setup ?

Raman I plan to eventually run 30/44 gearing in my vorza. The 30 you can get here - https://sdp-si.com/eStore/

Thanks Raman for the link.
I will try single speed, but with the tranny I'm pretty close
FDR tranny 5.12
FDR diff 4.79 (24/46)
Using the tranny with 22T would be roughly the same.
Anyone thought using the 40T spur ? I think Hobao has them.
When going to higher gearing like the 26/46 is there a threat the motor to overheat and loose power (and eventually break?) I'm having low temps with a tranny.

Who is Hobao? Ive never seen a spur that would fit our car that small!! But yea as you gear for more tope end the temperature threat goes up! I try to shut mine down around 190..
And yea man im trying to upload my dang pics of my setup but my computers acting weird.. im goin to try another route right now

I see you're used the original steering rod in your car. I did the exact same thing. The kit only came with one tie rod and nothing else. Lame!
